If you really think it's your calling, you might try looking for another place to teach.

I would add that not all private schools are good, not all public schools are bad, and the right administrators and coworkers can make all the difference in the world.

This is very true, although I thought I'd have better luck with the teaching environment in a private Christian school. But, with the 2 private schools I've been involved with in my life (one my son went to for 4 years and this one now), the administrators seems more concerned about not losing students (read tuition money) than providing the good students with a real education. I have to say that I think the middle school my son went to last year was more on top of discipline and in following the state standards for academics than this school is (which really surprised me because it is quite expensive for our area).
